England U19s ended their week with a win, following a 2-1 victory over Belgium on Monday afternoon.
Keith Downing’s side, who beat the Netherlands by 4-1 at George’s Park last week, made the trip to the Belgian national football centre in Tubize for the game.
And goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Stephen Walker, either side of a Belgian equaliser, secured an impressive ten days’ work for the Young Lions who start their U19 Euro qualifiers in November.
They will be back in action next month when they face a trip to Portugal and a home game with Macedonia.
The U20s didn’t have quite the same fortunes across the border in the Netherlands, where they slipped to a 3-1 defeat in Katwijk.
Paul Simpson’s team made a dream start to the game when Eddie Nketiah put the Young Lions in front after just seven minutes.
But the Dutch staged a second-half comeback, kick-started by Tahith Chong’s 62nd minute equaliser and followed up by Dylan Vente’s goal in the 75th minute.
With England chasing an equaliser, the hosts made it 3-1 with two minutes remaining through Ferdy Kadioglu.
Next month, Simpson's squad will face Italy at AFC Flyde before travelling to Czech Republic for their second game.
